Chocolate Bunny

Easter and a chocolate bunny just seem to go together like salt and pepper. They stand tall inside the Easter Basket, towering above all the foil covered chocolate eggs, jellybeans and peeps.

This silhouette view consists of just the outline and the featureless figure will be well recognized by everyone. Some individuals like their bunny rabbit with a bite out of one or two of the ears. Either way you make this design, it will make a welcome addition to any Easter apparel.

Directions:

1. Copy and cut the stencil.

2. Rest the parts on the suitable color glass and trace near the model with a permanent marker. Liberally cover up the traced design with beeswax or Chap Stick.

3. A glass saw is required to cut the design. Cut close to the shape to retain the outline and all the meticulous details.

4. Wash with soap and soak in plain water or employ glass cleaner to strip off any pen marks and scum. Airdry the items.

5. Assemble the pieces on a ready kiln shelf and put the shelf within the unit. At all times grasp the glass by the edge to avoid fingerprints.

6. Close up the lid or access. Activate the oven.

7. Examine the job at close to 1325 degrees Fahrenheit. While glancing at your fused glass have on glasses with IR and UV protection.

8. When the project possesses your required look, shut down and disconnect the unit. If the unit is constructed with heavy fire bricks, you can permit it to cool off on its own. On the other hand if it is built with ceramic fiber, the unit must be left on and checked so that it does not cool off more than approximately 300 degrees Fahrenheit per hour.

9. As soon as the pyrometer falls below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the unit may be opened.

10. As soon as the piece has cooled to room temperature, you can add a pin back. Stick on the pin back with a two part epoxy.
